First Sleepover Birthday party

Collin had his first sleepover birthday party at a friend's house.  While he has spent the night with friends MANY times, he has never spent the night with several kids at the same time AND for a birthday party. When I was packing him up for the party, I said we needed to pack a sleeping bag.  He wanted to know what a sleeping bag was.  I pulled out my sleeping bag from when I was in Girl Scouts.  It's in great condition for being an antique so I thought it would be fine for Collin to use at the party.  Daddy had to make fun of it because of the mustard color fabric inside and the orange and blue on the outside.  Collin was so excited about using it that he had to test it out in the living room using using Monkey and Puppy along with his Star Wars pillow.  He looked so tiny in it.  Looking at him brought back so many memories of camping when I was younger.  Oh....sorry....on with the story.

We dropped him off at Jacob's house around 6pm.  They were planning to walk to the neighborhood pool to swim and have pizza.  After swimming, they came back to the house, changed into their PJs and then got into their sleeping bags to watch a movie.  After the Lego movie, Collin was the only one awake, so Miss Susan put on another movie for him.  He lasted until 10:30pm which is around the time he has been going to sleep while I was on medical leave this last month.  He was probably also the last one asleep because Daddy told him that he could not be one of the first ones asleep because the other kids could mess with him.  He asked what they might do and Daddy gave some examples.  After that, I knew he would try his hardest to not fall asleep first.

The next day, the kids had either pancakes or waffles for breakfast. Collin said he had waffles.  Then, they played video games until their parents picked him up.  Collin was the last to be picked up because we had a bike ride this morning for Team Wonder Woman.

Collin said he had a great time at the party and wanted to do this for his birthday.  He has been saying the same thing after the last several birthday parties we have been to because he knows his birthday is coming up. 

Knowing that he is still in a Pull Up at night, I asked if anyone noticed.  He said no one did.  "Because we all had the same boy parts, we changed in the same room.  I put my Pull Up in my PJ pants and then pulled them on.  No one saw."  What a smart kid and great idea!
After picking him up, we ran an errand, came home to rest before going to the neighborhood pool, coming back to swim a little in our pool and then play some kid golf outside.  On our way to Grandma H's house at 6:45pm, Collin fell asleep...and stayed asleep the rest of the night. 

He starts Museum Camp tomorrow with a friend, Ford, for the week.
